Today we try something new, something mysterious, something crazy! DJ and Justin watch a movie like they did so many times before. But this time it's different. This time Justin carefully selected from the Simplistic Reviews ever growing library of shitty movies, a film DJ has never seen nor heard of. And that's not all. This time DJ has no idea what he will be watching, he knows nothing, just like you! So join DJ as he is only aware of recording a movie commentary...not what movie...but...a mystery movie!
